LOK SABHA
The various aspects
including the strategies and modus operandi adopted by the Islamic
terrorist groups in different suicidal attacks in the country
have been studied by the Central Government and the States have
been advised to review the security arrangements to prevent
possible attacks in future and minimize the damage in the event
of any attack. The States have also been advised to organize
suitable training programmes for their Police and intelligence
officials engaged in protection of vulnerable targets.
In order to
assist the States to undertake effective steps to counter terrorism,
the Central Government has set up new mechanisms for synergizing
and coordinating the intelligence efforts of the Central agencies
and the State Police Forces in the field of counter terrorism.
The State Governments
are regularly sensitized to the emerging threats in the internal
security scenario. Besides, the Central Government provides
financial assistance for modernizing the State Police Forces.
Central Para Military Forces are deployed as and when required
by the States.
This was stated
by the Minister of State for Home, Shri Harin Pathak in the
Lok Sabha today.
